US Vice-President Kamala Harris embarks on a tour of the continent amid fierce competition for influence.

The sub-Saharan African migrants were trying to cross the Mediterranean to reach Italy.

Paul Rusesabagina, played in the 2004 movie by Don Cheadle, was credited with saving 1,200 people.

The government said it had found their parents' remains but other research raised fresh questions.

The boat, which was trying to reach Italy, is the fifth to capsize in two days in the Mediterranean.

Officals in Tunisia say that at least 34 African migrants - including babies and children - are missing after their boat capsized off the Tunisian city of Sfax.

It's the fifth such shipwreck in the past two days.

A total of 67 people have been reported missing.

Tunisian officials say there's been a sharp rise in boats carrying would-be migrants towards Italy.

The coast guard has reportedly also stopped more than 50 boats leaving in the past two days.

The funeral has been held for a woman who died after a crush at a concert in London for popular Nigerian singer, Asake in December last year.

Rebecca Ikumelo, 33, died from her injuries after a large number of people tried to enter the O2 Academy Brixton.

Hundreds of mourners paid their respects to the nursing graduate and mother, as silence fell on the street of Ms Ikumelo's family home in Stratford, east London, as her coffin arrived in a carriage led by white horses.

Another woman, Gaby Hutchinson, 23, also died after the incident.

"She was such a special person," Ms Ikumelo's sister, Mary, told the BBC.

"It has been so, so difficult to comprehend what we've been through as a family... we only just got Rebecca's body back.

"Why did it take so long? We are a patient family and we will fight as we wait for justice."

Ms Ikumelo's family have been unable to bury her until now because her body was held by the coroner.

A police investigation into the incident is due to conclude next month.

A Nigerian producer, now artist, has told the BBC that the success of the Afrobeats music genre has only just started.

"I feel like we're just starting. We're not even there yet. Give us time," Otaniyen-Uwa Daniel said.

"For me, my measure of success is that I want to hear the songs in Mexico, in China and Korea, everywhere. Everyone knows reggae music. I want people to listen to us like that," he continued.

Killertunes was born in Benin City and has gone on to produce top artists such as Wizkid, Mr Eazi, and his mentor Timaya.

His production skills are also self-taught: "Back then in Benin there was no internet, to go on YouTube. I didn't even know there was something like YouTube where I could learn to produce."

His first big hit came when he was producing for Timaya on a track called I Concur.

He says on his current project he is blending RnB with jazz and is particularly excited about an as-yet unreleased track he has recorded with Patoranking and Davido.

"Whenever that song drops, trust me... it's over!"

The Chadian government has nationalised assets belonging to a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil.

It’s the latest development in a dispute between the authorities of the Central African country and the US oil giant over the sale of its assets in Chad to a third party.

The vast majority of Chad’s revenue comes from exporting oil. So when it disagreed with the terms under which Exxon sold its Chadian assets to British company Savannah Energy last year, it promised to go to court to block the purchase.

Now the Chadian authorities have gone one step further - they’ve nationalised Exxon’s assets, a move which could potentially spook foreign investors.

Savannah Energy has said it will challenge the move legally. The assets involved include a 40% stake in Chad’s Doba oil project - seven oilfields with a combined output of 28,000 barrels per day.

With 26 of the 28 Nigerian governorship results in, the All Progressive Congress (APC), which won the recent presidential election, has also won the most state races.

The party won in 15 states, taking its tally to 19 as it already controlled four other states.

The party came into the election controlling 21 states, meaning it lost two states.

One of those states was Kano won by the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP), formed just months before the polls.

The opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) won in nine states, taking their tally to 12. Before the election, it controlled 14 states.

The Labour Party of Peter Obi gained only its second governorship seat ever, sparking scenes of celebration in oil-rich Abia.

In all, six states have been flipped, including the north-west state of Zamfara, where an incumbent lost - the only one so far.

Both the APC and PDP will now have their eyes on Kebbi and Adamawa, where elections were declared inconclusive.

Nigeria has never had a female governor, but it could still happen. Aisha Binani of the APC is set to enter a rerun with the incumbent in Adamawa.

Voter turnout slightly improved to an average of 29% compared to 27% during the presidential polls.

Not all governorships were won by the parties which control state parliaments, potentially sparking more robust democratic scrutiny often missing in the past.
